A Reminder
Christ has regarded my helpless estate, and has shed His own blood for my soul. Selah.

A Tincture Of Love
When pain is to be borne, a little courage helps more than much knowledge, a little human sympathy more than much courage, and the least tincture of the love of God more than all. C. S. Lewis From the #imjustsaying series. #truth
